The service area is divided between two council districts: Selby and Wakefield. The boundary line runs up the middle of the A1.
Barnsdale Bar was known for its large restaurant on the southbound side; it was one of the biggest service area buildings on an A-road. This fell into the hands of Little Chef and became derelict in 2019.
23.5 Degrees submitted plans to demolish the derelict restaurant building, building a McDonald's Drive Thru and a Starbucks Drive Thru. There would be two more stores (planned to be occupied by Greggs and Subway) built within the hotel car park.
The Starbucks car park is also planned to include six electric vehicle charging points, positioned in front of the existing hotel building which is expected to remain. The restaurant building was demolished in late 2022.
Meanwhile, Shell currently hold planning permission to build two Shell Recharge electric vehicle charging points on the northbound side.
